    Sorry 'bout this ... I really thought my last post would be the last
    for a while, but asking the net seems to be about twice as fast as
    calling the Colorado support center ... plus you get a lot more
    information.

    Is there any way to detect a process that has faulted and is in the
    midst of dumping?

    I've got a monitor and control process which attempts  to  shut  down
    (using  SYS$FORCEX)  any  process who has not checked in for a while.
    The problem seems to be that  the  forced  exit  activates  the  exit
    handlers while the process is dumping and screws up the dump.

    Thanks again for your help ...
